Her Last Breath

The Eyes

I got undressed and turned on the shower faucet. The sound of the water running was harsh yet peaceful. It was a little strange. The water usually ran clearly. I looked in the mirror. I took off my necklace I forgot I had on. My mother gave me that necklace... She passed away in a fire rescue. That's another story for another day. I stepped into the shower and drew the curtains. The silky soft water flowing through my hair felt wonderful. I opened the shampoo bottle and it slipped out of my hands.

"Shit." I thought. I bent down to grab it but as I looked down the drain I saw these two red eyes just staring at me.

"What the hell!?" I said. I shut off the water and got out of the bathtub. I wrapped a towel around me and ran out of the bathroom. I swore I could hear someone or something whispering my name as I ran out. As I left, I slammed the door behind me. That crept the shit out of me. I have no idea what it was or who is was. All I know was that I have believed in ghosts for years. Still, to this day, I have no clue what that was.
